Madonna & Charli XCX - Danceteria [7-inch Clear]

Madonna heads back to where it all began with Danceteria, the club anthem from Confessions II, pressed here as a clear 7-inch single with Charli XCX joining her on the A-side.

The song is a love letter to the downtown New York club that gave her a start, the room where DJ Mark Kamins first played her demo of "Everybody" and a career took shape. Released in 2026 as the third single from her fifteenth studio album, it finds Madonna looking back without slowing down, swapping nostalgia for a packed floor and climbing to the top of the US dance airplay chart along the way.

Side A carries "Danceteria (Afterhours Mix)", the reworked version that brings in Charli XCX with a fresh second verse about her own nights out, the first time the two have recorded together. Side B returns to "Danceteria (Single Version)", produced by Madonna with Andrew Watt, Cirkut and Stuart Price: a filtered disco-house groove with a crunchy bassline, a hip-hop break and a sly nod to Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side".

Housed in a black-and-white art sleeve, it's a small, shiny piece of pop history for anyone who still believes the best stories start after midnight. Two generations of club royalty, one 45, and nobody ready to go home.
